Performance monitoring in Optical Networks

Agile Optical NetworkingApril 18, 2014

Optical networking isn’t just about pushing traffic anymore. The insatiable demand for mobile, video and cloud-based services is placing enormous pressure on your network – and it’s no longer enough to simply increase capacity. What’s required is a scalable, versatile and dynamic networking solution that can adapt to the ever-changing needs of your users.

That’s why we are embracing Agile Optical Networking. A streamlined optical network
that combines packet, electrical and photonic switching technologies, it makes it easier than ever to connect your customers to the services they crave — and to realize the full potential of your network.

Break through today’s capacity barriers and harness the scalability of tightly integrated networking technologies. Alcatel-Lucent can help you economically meet growing demand for dynamic services with terabit-scale multilayer switching. Embark on a seamless evolutionary path to 100G coherent transport and beyond.

Scalability is a must for optical transport. But until now this has meant costly overbuilds and recurring investments in space and power. The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) shifts the paradigm by providing a scalable platform for all emerging service applications from access to core. With the 1830 PSS, you no longer have to over-engineer your network to achieve the scalability you require.

Our innovative Alcatel-Lucent 400G Photonic Service Engine (PSE) supports coherent transport from 40G to 400G. It doubles fiber capacity while reducing power and footprint by more than one-third compared to today’s 100G solutions. Multilayer service switching delivers the right mix of packet, electrical and photonic switching where it is needed most in the network so that wavelengths are efficiently used. And optical control-plane intelligence provides service agility with scalability in both network size and across multiple layers.

With Agile Optical Networking, you don’t have to react to traffic growth with more equipment, space and power. Instead, you can embrace it with confidence.

Ensure your optical transport solution is as flexible as your network is complex. Alcatel-Lucent provides a single platform for any application, fiber type and reach — backed by a unified management system and a resilient, multilayer control plane.

Networks have evolved from purpose-built silos into multi-technology, multiservice architectures. Cloud services take this evolution even further, delivering a greater diversity of service requirements over virtualized resources. The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS provides optical transport for any application, fiber type and reach — serving as a single platform for business, wholesale, mobile backhaul, IPTV, datacenter connectivity and enterprise vertical applications.

I did some of that.

My ex-employer told me he will subcontract a job to me to install a composite material vacuum and temperature monitoring system. I designed and bid it, but he does not want the work. He told me I can have all the profit if I assume responsibility for providing satisfactory performance. The cost of my monthly California State Disability Insurance and liability insurance was more than he would make on the job. There is not enough profit in automation and instrumentation anymore.
Kudos to you on providing a very comprehensive skill list for the aspiring manufacturing engineer. You might want to add machine vision

I'm looking for a new job. So far, this resume has gotten me nowhere. Any obvious problems? Too much crap? I'm looking for a mech engineering job, btw. Thanks
